Retaining
Walls.

Slopes move. Ours don't. We build boulder and block walls for drainage, load, and decades of Wenatchee freeze‑thaw. The ground stays where it belongs.

Why walls fail

The wall isn't the problem. The drainage is.

We've rebuilt retaining walls that didn't make it two winters. Poor drainage behind them, wrong base, wrong block for the load. The homeowner paid twice.

Wenatchee's freeze-thaw cycle is brutal on walls without proper drainage. Water behind a wall builds hydrostatic pressure that pushes outward all winter. We put drainage aggregate and perforated pipe behind every wall we build. No exceptions.

Boulder retaining wall by Young Bucks in Wenatchee

Drainage aggregate behind every wall

Proper drainage is what separates a wall that holds from one that fails in three winters. We never skip this step.

Perforated pipe at the base

We install drainage pipe at the footing to move water away from the wall base and prevent saturation of the retained soil.

Compacted base, properly sized

A wall is only as strong as what it sits on. We excavate to undisturbed soil, compact the base, and size the footing for the height and load.

Right block or boulder for the job

Not every wall system is right for every situation. We spec the block, batter, and system for the height, slope, and soil conditions specific to your site.

What we build

Every wall, properly engineered.

Boulder Walls
Large natural boulders placed and stacked for slope retention on hillsides, driveways, and new builds. Built to blend with the terrain.
Segmental Block Walls
Concrete block systems engineered for height, load, and freeze-thaw. Clean, durable, and the standard for tiered yards and commercial slopes.
Natural Stone Walls
Dry-stack and mortared natural stone walls for a classic, high-end look. Precision laid, properly drained, and built to stand for decades.
Tiered Terracing
Multi-tier wall systems that turn steep, unusable slopes into usable yard space, garden beds, and outdoor living areas.
Why Young Bucks for walls

Built to outlast us.

Anyone can stack block. The difference is what happens behind it: drainage, base preparation, proper batter, and correct system selection for the height and load.

30-year engineering mindset

We build walls to last decades in Wenatchee's climate. Passing inspection is the baseline. Drainage and base work are non-negotiable.

No shortcuts on drainage

Every wall we build gets drainage aggregate and perforated pipe. It's not optional. It's what keeps your wall standing after ten wet winters.

We've seen what fails

We've rebuilt walls that other contractors built wrong. That experience shapes how we approach every project, from site assessment to final cap.
